AFC Varsity P-P Guernsey Bemerton Heath Harlequins 1-0 AFC Stoneham BotP had the pleasure of witnessing this thoroughly entertaining clash between to evenly matched teams. The competition was fierce and threatened to boil over once or twice, but credit to both teams for just getting on with what was a fascinating tussle. The deadlock was eventually broken with virtually the last kick of the game, Rachel Adkin stabbing home from close range following a left-wing corner. Read the BotP match blog here (Harlequins No Joke For Purps) Bournemouth Sports Reserves P-P Farnham Town Wimborne Town 0-2 Havant & Waterlooville Wimborne lost second spot to Bemerton after going down at home to a Hawks team now unbeaten since mid-November. Havant's goals were scored by Isobel Humphrey and Jodie Burchell.  Abingdon United Development 2-1 Fleet Town United caused something of a League Cup upset by defeating higher-ranked Fleet Town at The Northcourt. Goals from April England and Chloe Forrester were enough to override Lily Martin's strike for Fleet, sending the Yellows through to face Winchester City Flyers in the quarter-final. Southampton Women 0-3 AFC Portchester Portchester booked themselves a quarter-final visit to Farnham Town in this twice postponed League Cup tie.

Oana Filip put the visitors in front after 4 minutes with Ellie Stalley equalising 13 minutes later.

Fixtures - Sunday 8th February 2026 Oxford City v Woodley United Woodley travel to Marsh Lane still in search of their first win. A win that could take them out of the relegation zone. City have lost their last two home league games, so will be looking to make the most of their first meeting with the division's bottom side. Marsh Lane, OX3 0NQ  Oxford City Development v Farnborough Only a point separates Oxford, in eighth from Farnborough in ninth. However, City have played seven additional games to Farnborough's seven. The reverse fixture, in November, was postponed, so this will be their first encounter this season. Venue: Oxford City Development Penn & Tylers Green v Chesham United Development Something of a local derby as Chesham make the 9 mile jaunt to Elm Road. With the top three not having league games, Penn could go top of the table with a win. They'll be buoyed by the knowledge of a 4-1 win at Chesham in the first game of the season. French School Meadow, HP10 8LG Slough Town v Ascot United Reserves A repeat of the opening day fixture in which the sides played out a 2-2 draw at The Racecourse. On that day Ascot came from behind to lead 2-1 before Alicia Grinhaff tied the game seven minutes into added time. Arbour Park, SL2 5AY  Guernsey v Shaftesbury Since Guernsey beat Shaftesbury at Coppice Street back in October, the Green Lionesses have won just one more game and are currently on a run of one point from their last six games. Shaftesbury themselves have only picked up 3 points in their last six games. Victoria Avenue, GY2 4BB AFC Stoneham v Bursledon You can't say you don't see goals in Bursledon matches. Their last two outings have ended 0-13 and 13-2. Stoneham, meanwhile, were a little unfortunate to lose 1-0 at Bemerton last weekend, in a very tightly contested game (Harlequins No Joke For Purps). This will be the first meeting of the teams this season. Last season they met three times and all were close encounters. Stoneham's Zoe Bache could be facing her old team for the first time since her move. Stoneham Lane, Eastleigh SO16 2PA Andover New Street v Wimborne Town Wimborne lost second place on Sunday after defeat to Havant. New Street, despite their NDFA walkover at the weekend, have not won a game since the 1-0 win at Bournemouth in November. This will be their first meeting this season Foxcotte Park, SP11 0TA Bemerton Heath Harlequins v AFC Varsity Bemerton's last gasp winner on Sunday (Harlequins No Joke For Purps) saw them leapfrog Wimborne into second spot. Varsity sit second from bottom currently, but have an eight point gap between themselves and Shaftesbury. The reverse fixture, in October, ended in a goalless draw. Shrewton Recreation Ground, SP3 4JU Bournemouth Sports Reserves v Havant & Waterlooville The Hawks are on a bit of a roll. Three consecutive wins in all competitions and clean sheets in their last two league games. However, they did lose the reverse fixture to Sports in October. Two goals from Freya Jennings and one from Kaitlyn Elliott saw Bournemouth leave Westleigh Park with a 3-1 victory. Chapel Gate, BH23 6BL  Farnham Town v AFC Portchester With their 100% league record still intact, Farnham will be looking forward to pitting their wits against Premier League Portchester. Portchy's 3-0 win at Southampton last weekend was the result that set up this fixture Weydon School, GU9 8UG Larkspur Rovers v Reading To ensure that this game goes ahead, Rovers have already moved the fixture away from their normal home ground, having seen their last two home games postponed. This is going to be a big test for Larkspur against a Reading side that have won their last three, including inflicting a first defeat of the season on Wycombe. Brunel University Sports Park, UB8 3PW Winchester City Flyers v Abingdon United Development Flyers held on to second spot with their draw at Beaconsfield on Sunday. Despite the one division gap between the teams, Division One North Abingdon will be full of confidence, having already put out Premier League Fleet in the previous round. Hiller Way, Winchester SO23 7SU Wycombe Wanderers v Beaconsfield Town This will be the third meeting between these sides this season. The first two, in the league, did not go particularly well for The Rams, losing 7-1 at home and 9-1 away. However, Beaconsfield have won two of their last four games. Having gone out of the county cup and FA Cup on penalties, Wycombe will be hoping to continue their League Cup progress. 18i78 Stadium, SL1 8JG  Badshot Lea v Tilehurst Panthers
Both of these teams will welcome a break from league action after only registering two victories between them since October. The Baggies have yet to register a league point at home., although they have not played at Wrecclesham since November. The winners will face Havant & Waterlooville in the next round. Westfield Lane, Wrecclesham GU10 4PF Kidlington Youth v Sholing Kidlington's only successes have come in cup games this season, so they'll be happy to take a break from their difficult league campaign, even if it means the visit of a Premier League side. The Boatwomen have lost their last three in all competitions but are still nine points clear of the drop zone. Yarnton Road, OX5 1AT
